GARMENT-HANGER.

Specification of Letters rat e nt. Patented Oct, 13, 1914 Application filed July 3, 1913 Serial No. 777,205.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EUGENE JENOI and SANDOR Nnor,'subjects of the King of Hungary, residing at Thorpe, in the county of McDowell and State of Test Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to garment hangers, and has for its object to provide a hanger, in the manner as hereinafter set forth, in the form of a chain consisting of a plurality of inter-engaging and separable links whereby the length of the hanger can be increased or diminished when occasionso requires.

A further object of the invention is to provide a coat hanger in the form of a chain having each of its end links capable of being detachably connected to the garment for the purpose of securing a hanger in position.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a coat hanger, which is comparatively simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable, efficient in its use conveniently connected to the garment, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

VVith'the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In describing the invention in detail, reference is had to the accompanying drawing wherein like reference characters denote cor responding parts throughout the several A hanger in accordance with this invention includes a pair of end links 8, 9 and a plurality ofintermediate links 10. .The end and intermediate links interengagewith each other and can be separated from each ing their outer portionsofiset withv respect to their inner portions. The members 16, 17

are adapted to pierce the lining 18 of the garment and extend between said lining and the cloth 19 of the garment.

lVhen thelink 8 is connected to the garment, the member 17 is bent to extend in an opposite direction with respect to the member 16 which is clearly shown in Fig. 2. The end link 9 consists of a body portion including a plate 18 having a flange 19 at each end and a flange 20 at one side. The flange 20 is formed with a rectangular slot 21 for the purpose to be presently referred to. Projecting from the free edge of the plate 18 are connecting members 22, 23, the outer portions thereof being offset with respect to the inner portions. When the link 9 is connected to the garment, the member 23 extends in an opposite direction with respect to the member 22 as clearly shown in Fig. 2.

Each intermediate link is formed from a rectangular plate 24: having the flanges 25, 26 at the ends thereof and the flanges 27 28 at the sides thereof. The flange 26 is formed with an extension, bentupon itself to pro vide a hook 29 and to increase the length of the shank of the hook 29 the flange 26 is slitted, as at 30. The flange 25 is formed with a rectangular slot 31 for the purpose to be presently referred to.

The reference character 32 denotes the blank from which the end link 8 is formed and the reference character 33denotes the blank from which an intermediate link. is formed.

The intermediate links 10 are detachably connected to each other by the hook 29 of one link extending through the slot 31 to an adjacent link and the bill of the hook abutting against the flange 25, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. -The end link 8 is connected to an intermediate link by the hook 14 extending through the slot 31 in the flange 25 and'the abutting of the billofthe hook'lt against the inner face of that flange throughwhich the hook extends. The intermediate link'is connected to the end link 9 by a hook 29 extending through a slot 21 and the bill of the hook 29 engaging the inner face. oftheflange 20.

The hooks 29 are resilientso that. theycan be. compressed to enablethe intermediatelinks being disconnected. from each. other.

andalso fIFOlIllJhGrBIlCl-llhk 9.- The hook 14: is resilient-to enableithe same to disconnect from the intermediate link. i

By detachably connecting thelinks together, the; length of. the. hangercan be in-..

creasedjor. diminished when occasionso re quires,

What We claim -is,:

A. coat hanger-- formed of a chain comprising a pair ofvouteialinks and a plurality of intermediate links, each of said outer links consisting of a body portion provided With flanges and further having bendable connecting members for detachably connecting said links to the garment, the body'portion of one. of said outer links being slotted and the body portion of the other of said outer links havingprojecting therefrom an extension having a resilient hook, each of said in- Gopies.;.of. this patenhmay.bmohtained-lor flve'cents each, by-addressing the Commissioner of Patents.
